My Fair Ladies

Falling Slowly

Siobhan settled on the recipe she wanted to make for Marjorie. After a few days of indecisiveness between spaghetti bolognese, Marjorie's favourite chicken casserole or coq au vin. Siobhan walked around the supermarket picking up the various ingredients and a bottle of red wine. As Siobhan stood waiting to pay, she pulled her phone from her bag quickly tapping out a message to Marjorie. "Dinner tonight at mine. Arrive around 7pm. Viv and Jamie will be out." Siobhan paid for her items and headed out to her car before driving home.

As Siobhan drove home, she planned out everything that was going to happen in her mind starting with preparing the food as soon as she got home. Her thoughts kept drifting between Marjorie and the night ahead and soon nerves began to settle in her stomach as she begun to chastise herself. "Pull yourself together Siobhan. You've done this all before. You can do it all again." Pulling into the driveway, Siobhan took a deep breath before getting out of her Mercedes and heading inside. Once Siobhan had closed the front door behind her, she headed straight to the kitchen to begin preparing the food for later that day.

As Siobhan prepared the last of the ingredients carefully, she washed her hands before heading upstairs to shower and change. She had already laid out her outfit for the evening. The beautiful red dress she had worn for her and Marjorie's first date. As she stood in front of the floor length mirror adjusting her dress, her mind drifted back to the night at the beach. The dancing, the kiss, and most of all how special Marjorie had made her feel. She sat at the vanity applying the finishing touches to her make up when the doorbell rang. Butterflies erupted in her stomach as she walked down the stairs. As she reached the front door, she took in a deep shuddering breath and opened it. Stood before her was Marjorie in a tight figure-hugging black dress. "Marjorie, you look..." Siobhan swallowed hard "... amazing." Siobhan allowed her eyes to wander up and down the figure stood before her. Marjorie stood watching her nervously "Sweetheart, are you okay?" Siobhan's attention snapped back instantly. "Yeah, sorry princess I'm fine. Come in." She stepped aside allowing the brunette to enter.

Marjorie stood in the familiar hallway looking at her sweetheart. Her own eyes wandering the figure before her. "Sweetheart you look beautiful." Walking forward she pulled the blonde by the waist into a passionate kiss. As they separated breathlessly, Marjorie blushed tucking her hair behind her ear with her right hand. The air of anticipation around them was palpable as the blonde led her to the kitchen. The aroma hit Marjorie like a wave washing over her causing her stomach to growl. Siobhan let out a slight chuckle to herself. "Are you hungry princess?" With a raised eyebrow she replied. "Yes, you look absolutely delicious, but I could eat ... food too." Siobhan pulled a chair from the dining table for Marjorie to sit before gently pushing her back in. She plated up the meal making sure everything was perfect before heading back to the brunette. Siobhan placed a plate down in front of her. "Here you go princess." As she moved around the table to sit opposite the brunette, Marjorie looked across at the blonde. "Sweetheart this looks and smells amazing, what is it?" Siobhan smiled at the brunette. "Coq au vin." Marjorie's eyes went wide with embarrassment. "Oh, that's a real dish? Well, I owe the waiter of that French restaurant I went to with Charlotte a really long-winded apology because I thought he was just being lewd with me." Siobhan burst into laughter causing Marjorie to blush. The brunette screwed up her face causing the blonde to calm her laughter. "I'm sorry princess, let's eat."

They enjoyed the romantic candlelit dinner with the wine and conversation flowing smoothly. Food eaten and wine drank the two women gazed wantonly across the table at each other as the air of anticipation began to build once more. As she stood to clear the plates from the table Marjorie watched her every move biting her lip. As she turned back toward the brunette catching her eye she winked at her. "Do you like what you see princess?" As she walked back towards her, Marjorie stood. The blonde took her by the hand and led her into the lounge. She sat on the couch and pulled the brunette into her lap; Marjorie gently placed a hand on the blonde's cheek as she leaned into a slow passionate kiss. She let her hand wander along the brunette's thigh along to her bum. Marjorie gently moved kisses along the blonde's jaw and down to her neck finally reaching her collarbone. She allowed her fingers to follow the path gently tracing patterns with her nails until she reached her chest. As Siobhan's breath hitched and goosebumps erupted across her skin, the brunette continued tracing her nails across the blonde's chest. The blonde slowly let her hand wander from the brunette's bum and up her back allowing her to pull the brunette in closer for a deep bruising kiss.
